    Disney Infinity: Marvel Super Heroes (2.0 Edition) is a great, family friendly game all around.

    With video games being blamed for stunting imaginations in young minds, it’s refreshing to see a game that promotes a creative spark.

    In almost every way Disney Infinity 2.0 earns its sequel badge as it has improved on the original.

    It still has some legacy issues, but the improvements go a long way. The Marvel fan-service, along with the constant small moments of delight and whimsy, more than make up for a few remaining weak spots.

    Despite some improvements, Disney Infinity 2.0: Marvel Super Heroes is still a very basic action game beside to an intricate and frustrating editor. The atmosphere and charm of the characters are still not enough to convince us about the quality of the franchise.

    Uneven and undercooked, Disney Infinity 2.0 isn’t the major upgrade I expected. It lacks the playful fun and diversity that made Infinity 1.0 so great last year.

    Grand Theft Auto may be more graphic, but I'd rather have kids play in that fully realized world, with the wealth of side-missions, beautiful views, and more authentic vehicles, than in this dumbed-down cartoon catastrophe.

Game play is amazing in the playsets AND Toybox! The character level up is more entertaining this time because its not simply going from level One to level 15. You can now choose from a tree of level up abilities! The marvel characters are great and I can't wait for the new Disney characters! I'm glad I can use ALL my old characters, discs, and toybox toys in the new version. There are a few things they took away but the ability to build more things in the toybox the way that I want them now makes the game more playable, over and over! One downfall is that the game is extremely expensive. Plus side, I can use my PC to build my toyboxes and upload to my PS4! PS4 way better than Wii U. Expand

    Alright, so I am a total nerd. I love these characters and the customization. If you are looking for a groundbreaking experience, or awesomeAlright, so I am a total nerd. I love these characters and the customization. If you are looking for a groundbreaking experience, or awesome plot, then move along. On the other hand, the options of what you can do in toy box mode are incredible. I was Thor, with a Tron Data Disc, riding Bullseye from toy story, taking out robot after robot from The Incredibles. I have been star lord when a friend was gunning me down in a helicopter, so I swiftly changed figures to Iron Man and shot him down.

    I've done simple things like recreating my own house, and then linking my INterior (indoor custom space) to my front door. I have seen complex things that have been uploaded that blow my mind.

    And the issue at hand with that is the bridge in the middle of the gap between my world and those peoples' world. There isn't really a tutorial on how to link things together to create a chain reaction as simple as "Hit door with Data Disk, door opens for ten seconds" it just kind of hands you some tools and hopes you get it.

    But in my eyes, and as a non-player of DI1, this is amazing, and could be more so with more great minds and pieces.

    On a scale of pass/borrow/buy, I put full confidence behind buying.

    I primarily purchased Disney Infinity 2.0 as a way to teach my toddlers the relationship their actions can have with the action on-screen in aI primarily purchased Disney Infinity 2.0 as a way to teach my toddlers the relationship their actions can have with the action on-screen in a video game. The figures are an obvious draw because of the familiar faces, and the support of Disney and it's related properties made this an obvious choice over similar products like Skylanders, et al.

    I began with the Disney Infinity 2.0 starter pack that came with Thor, Iron Man, Black Widow and also purchased Venom additionally. Each figure is high quality, and stands on its own as a display item apart from it's utility with them game. They also seem durable, save for a couple extremities (Venom's Tongue for example); I would not leave small children alone with the figures, or their accompanying discs in order to protect their investment.

    The layout of the game itself, and how all of the pieces work together can be daunting, even to a veteran gamer like myself. However, the important part is that you have a base which acts as your portal to the game world. It holds two circular spots for figures, and a hexagonal spot for "Power Discs" that augment your game to include new content like game modes, objects (Weapons, Vehicles) and customization to the environment.

    Gameplay comes in three major varieties:

    My INterior is a house that you completely customize with unlockable items earned with in-game currency, and through your accomplishments called "Feats". You can add rooms, change the themes to match familiar Disney and Marvel franchises, and invite tiny "Guests" dressed as your favorite characters to occupy your mansion.

    Toybox mode let's you use any character you own, and use power discs to augment the gameplay (Giving Spiderman Buzz Lightyear's Rocket Wings for example) You can also build environments completely as you like, adding thousands of new objects and characters at will. If you're familiar with Little Big Planet, it is very similar in execution to it's creation mode, but in a 3D environment.

    Playsets are included with the starter pack, and with each pack of two characters (Spider-man and Nova, Gomorrah and Star-Lord) They are physically represented by pieces to be placed in the hexagonal space on your portal, and include fully voiced stories using the included characters. They provide a main story, often told via open-world narrative with missions, as well as collectibles. Among those are boxes tailored to your character's individual skills (Climbing walls, flying) and also two types of tokens that allow cross-play for characters not otherwise allowed in the adventure. For example, Iron-Man is not usable in the Spider-Man playset until you collect his 10 tokens.

    The adventures themselves are simple brawlers that use a melee and ranged attack to beat up enemies acting as pinatas of experience points, money, and health. The worlds normally take advantage of their open nature to highlight your individual hero's travel power like flight, or web-slinging. Character's who do not have their travel ability augmented by a power can still use unlocked vehicles earned during the playset campaign.

    All characters can level up to 20, and have a robust skill tree split up into 40 or so different abilities. They are typically arranged by Melee power-up, Ranged Power-up, Travel, and Special Ability Power-up and every character's skill tree is unique. They also can have alternate costumes unlocked via power disc packs that boost various abilities like speed, or distance orbs will be attracted to you from.

    All of the Disney Infinity 1.0 characters are usable in the game, and will automatically unlock content that you could normally purchase with in-game currency. They also have a level cap of 20 with individual skill-trees.

    Figures are priced around $14-15 US, and power discs are sold separately in packs of two for $5-6 US. The playsets come with two figures and an adventure for $35-40 US. November of 2014 will see the release of several new sets more aligned with Disney then Marvel and include Stitch, and Merida among others.

    My chief complaints with the game include a lack of focus or direction, and shallow scripted gameplay. The burden of fun is placed strictly in the lap of the player in the case of Disney Infinity 2.0. The pre-packaged adventures are short, and shallow and are not the reason you should purchase this game. The fun comes from having almost unlimited freedom to create as you see fit, balanced with some decent developer offerings that function as a way to level your characters, and unlock content, but are ultimately shallow examples of what you can do with the tools provided.

    I recommend this game to anyone interested in the franchises represented in the game, and especially to people who want to enjoy a game with their children or significant other. If you're someone who doesn't mind having to make your own fun then the sheer amount of options available will not disappoint.

    2014 has been an underwhelming year for gaming. Whether it be not meeting the expectations of gamers, coming out with DLC, the constant drama2014 has been an underwhelming year for gaming. Whether it be not meeting the expectations of gamers, coming out with DLC, the constant drama in the gaming community about resolution and graphics, rehashing of old games, just adding content to previous games and putting a name on it, silly gimmicks that nobody cares about and etc. And that is where Disney Infinity comes out with yet another AVERAGE game titled, "Disney Infinity 2.0" editions. I ranted on about this game to myself and on social media enough so here we go. The playsets are five hours long each with a total of 38 rinse and repeat missions, the toy box mode is better/bigger, the roster is still laughable, (missing lots of Marvel/Disney characters) the two games modes in the starter pack are "ok" but a little fun I guess, the figures are expensive and the average side missions from the previous games, are gone. Nothing much more to say about this game is that it only attracts kids/teenagers, figure collectors, casual gamers and this generation of gamers. This game is just ABSOLUTELY PATHETIC! I hope Disney Interactive finds their way again and does better. The PC port suffers from bugs, glitches, the game kicking you out, the server resets itself when you least expect it, lag, the system performance prevents certain PC users from building worlds and etc. Overall, it's a disappointing game and DON'T expect a lot out of it. It is just another gimmick that will end up dying when the next "AVERAGE" gimmick from Disney Infinity comes out. Yay. What a WASTE of INNOVATION for a game that could have been better with a better upgrade system but instead, the upgrade system is laughable, the demanding price for such a lackluster/average game is also laughable. All and all, A HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT. Way to go Disney Interactive. Oh and don't be surprised if you can't get a good trade in value for the figures because YOU WON'T! Have fun with this average game. The characters are fun to play as, the game modes are ok and the toy box mode/community mode is awesome but what is the point if the game is just so....AVERAGE! I wasted $30 on both Drax and Iron Fist combined and I do have buyers remorse from it. NEVER AGAIN! I will stick to going on Ebay and looking up web codes. FYI, a lot of the reviewers that gave this game a 10,9,8 or 7 are delusional at best or our causal gamers. There is nothing note worthy of this game. And with the same middle finger opening from the first previous game, I just say that all and all, it is a HUGE WASTED POTENTIAL OF THE MARVEL LICENSE! NEVER AGAIN WILL I BUY YOUR STUPID FIGURES DISNEY INTERACTIVE with a LAUGHABLE TRADE IN VALUE!!!! Expand
